Trump seeks trade deals with deadline approaching
Trump suggested Monday that any nation that refuses to strike a deal with the U.S. would face a tariff between 15 and 20 percent. 'We're going to be setting a tariff for essentially the rest of the world, and that's what they're going to pay if they want to do business in the United States. Because you can't sit down and do 200 deals. But we made the big ones,' he said. Here are some of the top trading partners that have not struck deals with the U.S. China: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and his Chinese counterparts held talks this week in China and Stockholm this week, which marked the third round of talks between the two nations. The talks led to another possible extension in the trade deal that was announced in May, without details about the timing of that extension. Canada: Negotiations between the Trump administration and Canada have stalled, Trump said last week. 'We haven't really had a lot of luck with Canada. I think Canada could be one where they'll just pay tariffs. It's not really a negotiation,' Trump said on Friday. Mexico: The president also threatened to impose a 30 percent tariff on goods from Mexico in a letter, citing the flow of fentanyl across the southern border that was the original basis for a 25 percent tariff he imposed on Mexican goods earlier this year.

2026 FIFA World Cup draw to be held in Las Vegas
They say "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas," but FIFA might have to break the tradition when it comes to the 2026 World Cup draw. A report from ESPN says that Las Vegas will host the draw for soccer's biggest spectacle, which will be hosted at venues across the United States, Mexico, and Canada next year. FIFA has yet to officially announce a venue or date for the draw. The 2026 World Cup will be the first to include 48 teams, and the first to be hosted by three nations. 11 U.S. cities will host games, along with three Mexican cities (Guadalajara, Mexico City, and Monterrey), and two more in Canada (Toronto and Vancouver). Las Vegas submitted a bid to host matches at Allegiant Stadium, but were rejected during the voting process. The draw will be used to sort the 48 teams that qualify for the tournament into 12 groups of four. Mexico (Group A), Canada (Group B), and the U.S. (Group D) have already been placed in their respective groups. The report says that Canadian and Mexican venues were considered for the draw, but were ultimately ruled out. ESPN cited Pedro Cedillo, an executive at Mexican club CF Pachuca, that he expects to be in Sin City on December 5 to present competing teams with information about training camp bases in the Mexican state of Hidalgo. Las Vegas also hosted the draw for the 1994 World Cup, the last time the men's version of the tournament was held on U.S. soil. However, per ESPN's report, the draw is likely to be held at The Sphere, a 17,500-capacity venue featuring a unique spherical screen. The Sphere, opened in 2023, has rapidly become a Vegas landmark at events like F1's Las Vegas Grand Prix. 2026 World Cup: What to know ahead of biggest soccer tournament in the world World Cup 2026: What cities will host games? Matches at the 2026 World Cup will take place in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Here is a full list of cities and corresponding venues: World Cup 2026: Which countries have qualified? Of the 48 spots available at the 2026 World Cup, 13 places have been claimed. Qualifying in each of FIFA's six confederations is ongoing, but in some cases teams have still clinched their place. Additionally, the final six places will be determined by an intercontinental playoff in March 2026, with six teams that narrowly missed qualifying directly getting one last shot. Here is a breakdown of who has already qualified for the 2026 World Cup: No team has yet qualified via the Confederation of African Football (CAF)'s qualifying process. Asia has one more round of qualifying that will determine the final two nations to secure an automatic berth at the World Cup, as well as the two teams that will battle for the Asian Football Confederation (AFC)'s one spot in the intercontinental playoff. No team has claimed one of UEFA's 16 berths at the 2026 World Cup. In many cases, qualifying has not even started yet, as the process is staggered based on group size. CONCACAF has not begun the decisive third round of its World Cup qualifying process, but has at least winnowed a pool of 32 entrants down to a final 12 teams. Canada, Mexico, and the United States did not have to participate in qualifying, as FIFA grants host nations an automatic berth. New Caledonia has secured a spot as Oceania's playoff representative. While Uruguay and Paraguay have not officially clinched a spot in the 2026 World Cup, both cannot fall further than seventh in CONMEBOL's qualifying process, meaning the worst either country can do is advance to the intercontinental playoff.

US accuses Venezuelan regime of narco-terrorism over alliances with Tren de Aragua, Sinaloa Cartel
The U.S. government has named the Cartel de los Soles, a Venezuela-based criminal group led by President Nicolás Maduro, a global terrorist organization. Cartel de los Soles, or Cartel of the Suns, is being sanctioned by the U.S. for providing support to foreign terrorist organizations, including the violent Tren de Aragua and Sinaloa Cartel, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. "Today's action further exposes the illegitimate Maduro regime's facilitation of narco-terrorism through terrorist groups like Cartel de los Soles," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement. "The Treasury Department will continue to execute on President Donald Trump's pledge to put America First by cracking down on violent organizations, including Tren de Aragua, the Sinaloa Cartel and their facilitators, like Cartel de los Soles." Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang, is involved in a range of criminal activities, including human smuggling and the illicit drug trade. The Sinaloa Cartel, a violent and powerful Mexican cartel, is responsible for trafficking drugs like fentanyl into the U.S., according to the Treasury Department. In an X post, the Drug Enforcement Administration wrote that it is seeking information leading to the arrests and convictions of Maduro, Minister of Interior, Justice and Peace Diosdado Cabello Rondón and Minister of Defense Vladimir Padrino López. In January, the U.S. increased an reward to $25 million for information leading to Maduro's arrest and/or conviction. The U.S. has not recognized Maduro as the Venezuelan president since 2019. In May, the U.S. advised citizens to avoid traveling to Venezuela and its borders. According to the U.S. Department of State, citizens were warned not to travel to Venezuela due to severe risks, including wrongful detention, torture in detention, terrorism, kidnapping, arbitrary enforcement of local laws, crime, civil unrest and poor health infrastructure.

At Denver's Mexican Consulate, fears of family separation, deportations fuel surge in dual citizenship applications
Close ties between Colorado and Mexico have inspired the work of the Mexican Consulate in Denver for more than 130 years. This year the consulate has shifted significant resources to meet a 400% increase in demand for Mexican passports by Mexican nationals seeking dual citizenship for their U.S.-born children. "Right here in Zacatecas," said Fernando Gomez, pointing out the spot in the state of Zacatecas, Mexico that's home to their family's small ranch. "Oh man it's beautiful," he adds. The three Gomez brothers are from Rifle, Colorado. Their father founded and owns an oilfield services company. This day they're visiting the Mexican Consulate in Denver. U.S. citizens, getting dual citizenship in Mexico. It took their parents by surprise. "I think it brings them great happiness because growing up we weren't really taught any different being more American or more Mexican. They'd just say, 'Be proud of who you are. Know your roots,'" said Jaime Gomez. The Gomez's are part of a trend of steadily increasing demand for dual U.S.-Mexican citizenship. But the trend has surged in the last 6 months. Most of the surge is driven by changes in U.S. immigration policy and the fear that families will be separated, according to the consulate. "Now we have seen another jump of a very huge percentage," said Deputy Consul José Federico Bass-Villareal. Mexican American families seeking citizenship for their U.S.-born children. While the entire Gomez family are U.S. citizens, many mixed status families are also seeking dual citizenship -- out of fear they could be separated if some family members are deported. "There is an impact, you cannot deny it, it's undeniable that there is an impact in the possibility of people being moved to Mexico or that they are deciding voluntarily to go back to Mexico before any other decision, administrative decision could happen," said Bass-Villareal. "No, I follow it," said Fernando Gomez when asked if he follows or tunes out what is happening with immigration policies. "Pretty sad what's going on. I mean they're just trying to migrate over here for a better life. It's just hard." The consulate hired additional staff to respond to the demand for Mexican passports. "Plus the peculiar characteristics of this situation that we are living if you can say we have tripled the department to better serve our community," said Bass-Villareal. Fernando Gomez envisions a future going back and forth between Colorado and Zacatecas. "I'm just thinking about buying property and building my own house down there as well. I think it's just easier to open up a bank (account) and just send money and just be able to invest as well." And, the Mexican Consulate says, it will continue to flex its resources to meet the needs and protect the rights of Mexican nationals.
